    Lee Selby: Welshman to fight Gustavo Lemos in Argentina

    Former IBF featherweight champion Lee Selby will fight in Argentina as he faces the undefeated Gustavo Lemos in a final eliminator to meet lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr.

    The fight is scheduled for Saturday, 26 March at Luna Park in Buenos Aires.

    Selby lost a split decision to Kambosos at Wembley Arena in October 2020.

    Lemos, 25, has won all of his 28 fights as a professional and is ranked third by the IBF, while 35-year old Selby is ranked fourth by the organisation.


    The fight will be hosted in Argentina after Lemos' promoters won the purse bid and gives Selby a chance to become the first two-weight world champion from Wales.

    "My final eliminator for the IBF Lightweight World Title is all set for 26 March at the historic Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina," Selby said.

    "Trust me I'm ready and hungrier than ever to secure that world title shot."

    Australian Kambosos stunned American Teofimo Lopez on a split decision in New York in November to hold the WBA, WBO and IBF lightweight belts.

    Welshman is beaten by Gustavo Lemos and hints at retirement

    Welsh boxer Lee Selby has hinted he could retire after losing by stoppage for the first time in his career at the hands of Gustavo Lemos in Argentina.

    Selby was hoping for a chance to win a world title at lightweight, with this bout a final eliminator for the IBF lightweight title.

    However, Selby, 34, was stopped in the fifth round by Lemos, who also floored the Welshman in the fourth round.

    Lemos should now get a chance to fight champion George Kambosos Jr.

    There will be a feeling of what have been for Selby, a former IBF featherweight world champion, who lost a split decision to Kambosos in a lightweight fight at Wembley Arena in October 2020.

    Victory in that fight would have set up a huge bout and massive payday against American Teofimo Lopez, who was beaten on a split decision in New York in November by Kambosos Jr, who won the WBA, WBO and IBF lightweight belts.

    Selby was bidding for the opportunity to become the first two-weight world champion from Wales, but was never able to dominate his unbeaten opponent at Luna Park in Buenos Aires.

    Selby, 28-4, has now lost three of his last five fights, since Josh Warrington won his world featherweight title at Elland Road in 2018.

    The Welsh boxer did mark his opponent in an even first round, before Lemos began to dominate, hurting Selby at the end of the third round and forcing him to take a knee in the fourth, before another flurry of unanswered punches in the fifth sent Selby to the canvas again, with the referee stepping in to wave off proceedings.

    "A tough loss to take but sadly time waits for no man," Selby wrote on social media. "Getting hard to go toe to toe with these young guns 10 years my junior.

    "Thanks for all the support back home, I'm all OK.

    "Congratulations to Gustavo Lemos on the victory."

    Might have been interesting if Selby could break and egg. Other than Lemos falling apart, there was virtually no way for Selby to get a result there. Not sure if he's announced a retirement yet but I'm not sure what other option he has. The skills that served him so well will only erode further and he has nothing else to trade on.

    Wow! There is a shot fighter if ever I saw one. He is such a different fighter to when he was in his prime. Sad to see really, when I used to really appreciate him as a Boxer.
    He never had power , but I’ve never seen Selby get hit so much. He’s still big at the weight, but he’s getting hit too much.
    Credit to Lemos, he looks a good fighter, but he’s gonna have to wait in line for Kambossos jr. By the looks of things.
